ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A basketball game
Ansel had some lunch with the co-workers, including Smith whom he met some few hours ago.The two were starting to get along well.And Ansel also found out that he had gotten a job in the company six months ago.After working abroad for so many ways, a war broke out and he had to return back to his home country.This was the only company that offered to pay something that was worth it.Smith was eating a piece of steak, he seemed to be trying to get everything in his mouth all at once."We still have some free time left." Ansel said with a playful grin.Smith amused him and he couldn't help but wonder if he hadn't eaten since morning.With a defeated sigh, Smith dropped the steak back on his plate and then began speaking . "I don't want to get late for the basketball game.""Basketball game?"Ansel asked with a puzzled look on his face.He had never heard of workers going to watch basketball and so he became interested and wanted to hear more of it.When Smith saw Ansel's curious gaze
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A crown worth billions
When Ansel got to his seat, some group of men walked in.They performed some live action martial arts and Ansel scoffed quietly.Those were amateur moves and could hardly give any effect on their opponents.The representatives from other companies started to arrive and Ansel marveled at the amount of people that had come to attend.If Ansel counted correctly then they were over two hundred of them.Ansel knew that if they participated in the basketball game then they might all spend the night in the field.Soon, he heard a man say something into the speaker." A tug of war battle is about to begin. The final companies to come out victorious will move on to the next and final round."Ansel saw Bob flash them a weird smirk as the cameras moved to his side.With a snort, Ansel shook his head. Bob was trying to give a charming smile but Ansel saw a crooked smile instead.When it got to the time when the leaders of each company were supposed to say a message to the audience, Bob stepped fo
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER A snitch
The person who had made that comment was Ansel. He hadn't expected the young teenage girl to eavesdrop on their conversation.He cursed the girl silently in his heart.Everyone turned their heads to look at the young man who was bold enough to do so.They cast skeptical glances at Ansel, their doubt about his belonging to the occasion obvious. Dressed in unassuming, plain clothing, he appeared to be out of place among the high society guests who surrounded him.Bob was already marching towards him, nothing was going to stop him from humiliating Ansel this time."So, you think it's okay to talk about me behind my back, do you?" Bob's voice was dangerous. "You must be a real coward if you're too scared to say it to my face. Or maybe you're just jealous that I'm bigger than you, huh?" His arms remained crossed, and his eyes bore into Ansel, daring him to respond. "If you were man enough, you'd have told me what you thought right to my face." Ansel gave a loud scoff before scrutinizing B
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Secretary Bob had no choice
Ansel opened his mouth to speak but soon stopped when he saw a young man who was a part of the team run to meet Bob."Secretary Bob, I'm not feeling too well. I want to withdraw myself from the game. My head is aching badly." The young man said, pain was evident on his face and he gripped his head with his right palm.He was suddenly feeling feverish and he wasn't sure if he would be able to continue anymore.At first he wasn't feeling that way but suddenly he felt like he was about to lose his head.His whole body became hot and the only reason why he had run to secretary Bob was because he wanted to take permission before leaving.Bob stood there speechless. It was not good news, especially when he was finding out that one of his skilled members was suddenly withdrawing." If you take some water then you will be fine. Don't behave like a weakling at a moment when we need you the most." Bob said with gritted teeth, it wasn't like he needed the young man on his team but he couldn't a
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER He is a basketball guru
The game had already begun and even though Ansel hadn't gotten a hold of the ball, he ran alongside his teammates.He noticed that out of all the team members, Bob was the one who had the most control.Bob was also the one who had the most contact with the ball.Ansel also noticed that Bob was selfish with the ball and didn't bother to pass to any of his teammates.Their opponent had scored some points while they were at zero.Ansel was starting to get impatient, he skillfully moved past the players and got to where Bob was standing.Just when he was waiting for Bob to pass the ball, he saw Bob move past him.Ansel clenched his fist and ran to meet him.Bob was dumb to have ignored him but surprisingly, the ball landed inside the net and Bob scored some points for their team.The same thing happened for the next few rounds and Ansel was beginning to get tired.It was time to take a short break and Ansel went to sit on a bench.Ansel hadn't scored a single one for his team and he was s
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER What did he do wrong?
Ansel arrived at the company and began to look for Thora. He made his way to her office, but upon opening the door, he was greeted with an empty space. There was no sign of Thora.Soon he got the news that she had gone back home.Ansel walked out of the company. Since Thora had left him, he didn't have a choice but to find a means of getting home.Walking home wasn't an option.Ansel was about to bring out his phone to call Anthony when he spotted Smith who was walking towards him.Smith held a pill in his hands and handed it to Ansel."Can you make a hundred of these? We are running low on supply" Smith said, this time sounding even more respectful.After witnessing what Ansel did, he could only come to a conclusion that Ansel was a secret master.Having seen Ansel's swift moves and accurate shots, he couldn't help but think that Ansel lied to him earlier.Even though Smith wanted to bring up the discussion, he feared that Ansel might get angry.Ansel stared at the pill for a while,
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER The adopted daughter of the Castillo family arrives
It was Ansel's second day in the Castillo mansion, and he was still adjusting to his new surroundings.Since it was the weekend, Ansel didn't go to work and so he stayed in the living room.Watching the new series of a movie that was just available on Netflix.Suddenly the door swung open and a young girl walked into the house.Wearing a huge hat and fancy clothes.She had beautiful brown skin that would make anyone turn to stare at her.Ansel turned his attention to the person who had walked in without any permission.He saw a girl who looked like she was about eighteen years or more.Ansel stared at her in a daze and she did the same."Ewwwwww" The girl screamed her lungs out and then proceeded to hit Ansel with her big handbag.Ansel sprung up from the chair and swiftly moved to the side.He gave her a puzzled look and she stepped forward."How did you enter our home? What are you doing here? You must have broken in." The girl said with disdain, she scrunched her nose when she saw
ANSEL LUTHER'S RISE TO POWER Brother-in-law
When Ansel saw how speechless Mira was, he went up the stairs to get their marriage documents.Soon he returned back and flashed the certificate in front of Mira.Mira gasped in shock and stared at Thora with disbelief.After seeing enough proof, Mira sneered and then gave Ansel a dirty look."Sister Thora must be forced to do this. Don't think too highly of yourself" Mira said after handing the certificate back to Ansel.Thora shook her head in disapproval and Mira screamed out loud for the second time."Is he really your husband?" Mira asked again and Thora nodded her head in response."Do you love him, sister Thora?" Mira asked with a snort."You can't know everything about our marriage, Mira. I have told you all you need to know. Ansel is your brother-in-law and he will be taking you to your new apartment. Be a good girl, Mira." Thora said calmly and proceeded to walk away but Mira was quick to stop her."No way! You promised to take me to my new apartment and not brother-in-law.

"Have you forgotten the past so soon?"
"Father-in-law Luther," the older man’s voice cracked. He stood a few feet away with his shoulders slouched, looking smaller than anyone had ever seen him. "I wish... I wish I could bring her back, I really do. But I can’t. I know that now. It's all my fault and i apologize for my past mistakes." His eyes darted from grandfather Luther to Ansel. "Please, just let me prove I’m sorry. I want to be part of this family again. We need to live together as one. I want to be with my children again."The memories came flooding back for him. He remembered the day he had pushed his family out, standing there with his new wife and acting like he had won. He had believed he had everything under control, that with Ansel’s mother’s wealth, he could live a life of luxury. It was only now that he realized how much he had truly lost.If he had been patient enough, he would have gotten to find out that grandfather was a rich man. Even the car behind grandfather cost almost a hundred million dollars.M
Sobs
Ansel stepped out of the courthouse, the cool breeze of early morning ruffling his hair. The property that rightfully belonged to his mother was finally his again.He could still hear the judge’s voice echoing in his head in a calm but authoritative tone, “The court rules in favor of Ansel Luther, granting him full ownership of the property.”His lawyer had done exactly what Ansel had hired him for. No surprises there. With a lawyer of his caliber, victories like this were highly expected.But the image that stuck with Ansel the most was his stepmother’s face as the verdict was announced. She had fought hard to keep what didn’t belong to her, using every underhanded trick in the book, but now it was over.Another thing that was satisfying, though, was watching his father and stepmother's faces as reality hit them.As Ansel approached the garage, a sly grin tugged at the corner of his lips. He could still see the look of shock and outrage on his father’s face, too. His father's su
Courtroom
The morning sun passed through the tall windows of the courthouse, casting long shadows across the polished floor.Ansel stepped through the door, his polished shoes clicking softly as he walked down the aisle toward the front of the courtroom. He had chosen his outfit carefully, a tailored suit, crisp white shirt, and a dark tie that made him look every bit the man he had grown to become.As soon as he entered, heads turned, including those of his father and stepmother, who were seated across the room.His stepmother's brows furrowed when she saw him, her lips pursing in disapproval. Ansel didn’t acknowledge them. Instead, he walked toward the plaintiff’s seat with a faint smirk tugging at the corner of his mouth. The kind of smirk that said he had been waiting for this moment. His father, seated a few rows behind the defense table, leaned over to whisper something to his wife. He noticed how his stepmother hissed under her breath, clearly displeased.‘They think I spent my last
Kool Kat Klub
In front of the bar, two bulky bodyguards stood with arms crossed, their eyes scanning the crowd for any sign of trouble. The KKK(Kool kat Klub) Bar had a reputation, and they were there to make sure the wrong kind of people didn’t get in without paying for access.Ansel walked up to the door, handed one of the guards a few bills, and received a curt nod in return. They stepped aside, letting him through without a word. He pushed open the heavy door and stepped inside.The place was exactly as it was rumoured to be. The lights were dim, casting a reddish glow over the room.Music pumped through the speakers, loud enough to make his chest vibrate. Girls in skimpy outfits danced on platforms, their movements drawing the attention of the men partying below with drinks in hand and their laughter filling the air.Ansel wasn’t here for the party. He was here for Kael.He scanned the room, his eyes moving quickly from face to face. Kael had a habit of showing up in his bar.Ansel came pre
Kael’s illegal operations
The group of men rounded the corner, dragging a bulky, heavy-looking bag between them.Ansel’s instincts kicked in the moment he caught sight of them. The stench of powder still lingered in the air from earlier, and it wasn’t hard to piece it all together. This wasn’t cleaning equipment…it was something far more sinister.The men faltered when they saw him and the guy he’d pinned just moments ago, still on his knees and visibly rattled. Their steps slowed, unsure of what they’d just walked into.Ansel loosened his grip on the man he was holding and pushed him aside, stepping forward toward the group. His eyes flicked to the bag they were carrying.“What’s in the bag?” His voice was steady, calm, but his gaze locked onto their faces, looking for any hint of a lie.The man on the floor stammered again, “It’s… it’s just cleaning stuff, I swear.”Ansel sneered, his patience wearing thin. He wasn’t in the mood for more nonsense. He moved closer, his presence alone enough to make them twitc
Visiting the warehouse
★★★On their way back, they passed by the MPK building, its towering structure silhouetted against the darkening sky.The government rewards were secured in his bag. Most notably, the key to the advanced medical equipment he had been given. Ansel leaned back in the car seat, his eyes distant as he recalled his stepmother’s chilling words about his sister.He clenched his fists. But now wasn’t the time to dwell on it. There were more pressing matters at hand.“Anthony,” Ansel said, his voice breaking the silence, “Take me to Grove Street. I need to check on something at the warehouse.”Anthony glanced at him through the rearview mirror. “Are you sure? It’s pretty late.”Ansel nodded, his gaze still fixed out the window. “I won’t be long. Just need to make sure everything’s in place.”It was already late at night, and the streets were quiet. The city’s usual noise had died down, and the dim street lights cast long shadows on the empty roads. They made their way through the dark streets
He has changed.
Ansel’s father’s mocking words echoed in his mind, pulling him into old wounds, but the sharp sound of heels hitting the cold marble floor snapped him out of it. He didn’t need to look up to know who was approaching—his stepmother’s presence was always announced by the clinking of her flashy jewelry.She strode into the room with her head held high, diamonds glinting at her neck, wrists, and ears. Ansel didn’t move. His face hardened as she came closer.“Well, well,” she said with a voice laced with false sweetness. “Look who’s back. Here to ask for money again, Ansel?”Ansel slowly looked her over, a cold sneer twisting his lips. His eyes locked on the woman who had torn his family apart so many years ago, the woman who had driven a wedge between his parents, ultimately destroying the family. He felt that familiar surge of anger rising, but he kept his voice level.“Keep. My. Name. Out. Of. Your. Mouth,” he said sharply, his words cutting through the air.His stepmother didn’t flinch
Two impossible options
Ansel checked the time on his watch. Two hours until the office closed, and the medical department was peaceful. No patients needed attention.At the end of the street, Anthony waited in the car. Ansel's expression was tight, and Anthony noticed that the young master didn't seem to be in a good mood today.He climbed into the car, shutting the door a bit harder than necessary."Is everything alright, Young master Ansel?" Anthony asked, glancing at Ansel in the rearview mirror.Ansel shook his head. The message from his assistant was still flashing before his eyes. His father, who had abandoned him and his mother years ago, was planning to sell her company. The same company he had taken from her before she passed away.Ansel could hardly believe that his father would dare to do that.But what was he expecting from a man who resulted in dirty tricks to get what he wanted?Anger boiled in Ansel's chest. He suddenly remembered his mother's tears, her desperation as his father's underhande
When things get heated
“Divorce?” Thora’s voice dripped with disbelief. “Who do you think you are, telling me what to do?”Claire’s nostrils flared as anger surged through her, and in a swift motion, she grabbed the glass cup sitting on the table and slammed it down. The glass shattered against the floor with a loud crash, shards scattering everywhere. It wasn’t until she heard the satisfying sound of the glass breaking that her anger felt even remotely manageable. She turned back toward Ansel, a sneer on her face, and then shifted her glare toward Thora.“I’m not blind. I can see clearly that he’s nothing but a stain on our family!” Claire spat out."Our family?" Thora corrected calmly.The sight of the broken shards of glass scattered on the floor infuriated her but she managed to maintain her cool."You can leave my office now, Claire. I have important matters to attend to."Claire felt like she had just heard the most insulting words of her life.She stammered as she tried to come up with a reply."Are
